captainredeye 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Replacing wishbone bushes and need to raise the engine to get the drivers side off. Problem is I have removed the stud going through the rear engine mount and have then raised the engine using a jack but the sump is still level with wishbone bolt. What am I doing wrong?

lewvw 10 Posted May 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure thats all I did, maybe worth slackening the front mount top bolt too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainredeye 0 Posted May 22, 2012 Nice one, the engine is raising up and there is a gap between the engine and back mount but the wishbone is still level has been a long day and it was getting dark which didnt help, will get back on it at first thing.
